Roo la la! United striker Wayne a target for moneybags PSG, confirms club president

Paris Saint-Germain's wealthy Qatari owners have admitted they would be interested in signing Wayne Rooney.

Rooney’s future at Manchester United was plunged into doubt last month when he was left on the bench for their pivotal Champions League clash at home to Real Madrid.

Although Sir Alex Ferguson insists the England striker will be offered a new contract, it is understood that United would consider bids in excess of £20million this summer.

Target: Nasser Al Khelaifi confirmed that PSG have not approached Rooney but do want to buy him

PSG owners Qatar Investment Authority
would have little problem meeting that kind of figure, having already
spent more than £200m to bring in the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
Thiago Silva, Lucas Moura and David Beckham.

Asked yesterday about the possibility of signing Rooney, the French
club’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: ‘He is a great player, he is
one of the best strikers in the world. I think everyone would like to
have him but if you want to talk about the fact, we didn’t approach
him.’

Rooney, 27, was at Carrington for treatment on his injured groin
yesterday and he expects to be fit for next week’s Manchester derby.
